Uhm....hello??? NINE months! That's insane to me. And to summarize this last month..."energizer bunny". Cavin is bouncing off the walls with energy and we all know this did not come from me. I may have given him is fabulous pale skin, blue eyes, and ability to sleep; however, I am not responsible for his lightening speed crawling, climbing, and constant gibber-jabber (although, in all fairness, Mike may argue with that last one). In other ones, this little one is a blast to be around! He is constantly entertaining, flashing his smile, and eager to include you in his playtime antics.
This month he has begun learning to share. :) He will be playing with a toy, turn around, and hand it over to you. He will of course expect it back but it is a start. He has also officially begun his sports career. That's right. He has a big interest in his baseball and soccer ball...and after a month of trying to eat them, he is finally trying to roll the balls to us. Well, in all honesty, he watches us roll it to him, he picks it up, holds it out, and lets it go out of his hand. That's a big step! It has been a lot of fun trying to play ball with the little slugger.
There is a big debate going on in our household right now whether or not he is associating "mama" with me and "dada" with Mike. He really seems to be saying "mama" when I'm around and "dada" when Mike is around. Of course, there are a few slip-ups. We'll keep you posted. One thing that is for sure is he LOOOVES to say "oooooooo". His day care provider, Pari, consistently reports that he said "oooooo" all day long.
Other than that, he's now standing unassisted for longer periods of time. Last month, I could tell his legs were strong enough but that he just didn't have the confidence to let go. Well now he's been letting go and standing there for about 5-10 solid seconds before he gets distracted and takes off!
This month's Elmo picture proved to be even more challenging. We placed Cavin on Elmo and within a second he would bounce off as if he was playing 'hot potato'. You can tell in the above picture and some of the following what I mean...
He also performed the collapse and roll in order to slide off of Elmo as well.
He started to get frustrated with us for placing him on Elmo so much. Momma just wanted a decent picture!
Something in this face tells me that it is ON for the 10 month shoot!
Happy Birthday my little firecracker!
